NOT "ANY"
By Charles V. Stanton - !

WENDELL WILLKIE has withdrawn from the presidential
race, as a result of the blow suffered in the Wisconsin
primary election. Thus Dewey may be expected to carry -the
G. O. P. banner in November with but little opposition,
except from the Old Guard and isolationists, who knowj
the New York governor will not conform to the reactionary j
policies they advocate. Dewey's action in playing hard-to-1
get may not be overly popular, but it is smart political j
strategy, for, by avoiding a showdown and possible setback, j
such as VVillkie received, he is in a favorable position forj
"draft" by the convention. j
i A good many political observers have been pointing out
recently that the republicans cannot expect to win by nomi
nating just 'any" candidate. The scope of republican vic
tories in gubernatorial and congressional elections has
stirred strong hopes in the hearts of many party leaders.
Some of the more optimistic aeem lo feel that, because the
trend is so definitely away from the New Deal and a fourth
term, any republican can win.
The republicans must remember, however, they are faced
by a one-man party. President Roosevelt, although wearing
the title, is not an advocate of the principles of the demo
cratic party. The party of which he is the titular leader
was founded upon the tenets of state rights and constitu
tional government policies which have been consistently
disregarded by the president and his brain trusters. Presi
dent Roosevelt has been elected in the past entirely upon the
basis of individual personality. Platforms and pre-election
promises have been treated as lightly as European peace
pacts. He is strictly a one-man party who commands votes
by personal charm.
To defeat Roosevelt, the republicans must either find an
individual with personality appeal equal to that of Roose
velt or else must produce a positive program together with a
candidate who embodies both acceptable personality and es
tablished reputation for ability to vitalize the party plat
form. Willkie was the candidate witli personality. He had
voter appeal. l!ut the Wisconsin election dulled the lustre.
Dewey, on the other hand, has good personality, coupled
with a political background which induces voter confidence.
Roosevelt, too, is likely to have some of the polish knock
ed off at the democratic nominating convention. Party
tides are running so strongly against him, some observers
feel he may not ehoose to be a candidate.
The supreme court decision on Negro voting is apt to
prove a boomerang. The solid democratic South is not for
getting the packing processus by which the supreme court
became a New Dettl agent. The reversal of previous deci
sions will be construed in the South strictly as a trick to
corral the Negro vote. The New Deal policy has been to
create domestic factions and to retain favor with .sufficient
ofJJiese factions Ip slay in povyer while dividing j-enuiining
groups, 'piling them one aganst the other. The hope for a
fourth term now lies largely with the labor vote and the
Negro vote.
No mutter what our opinion may be concerning the
ethics of the South's altitude toward the Negro, it is cer
tain that every effort will be put forth in those states to
maintain white supremacy, and President Roosevelt un
doubtedly will receive opposition from southern delegates
lo the nominating convention.
The South lacks sufficient strength to control the nomi
nation, but a united opposition might so seriously affect the
fourth term chances that the convention would settle upon
another candidate.
In such case, the New Deal would be as dead as last year's
corn husks and the November election would return to the
desirable status of a two-party fight.

State. Press Comment
SHOULD BE REELECTED
(Grants Pass Courier)
First member of congress to
represent the newly formed
Fourth district of Oregon, Harris
Ellsworth, of Roseburg, is com
pleting his two-year term of of
fice and has filed for reelection
on a platform that should appeal
to every voter; namely, "Contin
ucd hard work and sound Judg
ment on district needs and na
tional problems."
The Courier believes that Con
gressman Ellsworth has accom
plished more than anyone could
have expected during his first
term in congress and has made
a record of which both the con
gressman and his district may
well be proud. He has gained na
tional recognition as a hard
worker for his state and his dis
trict and as a man of sound Judg
ment and courageous action.
True to his conviction that a
congressman must be a worker
ir. the Interests of his constitu
ents, Representative Ellsworth
will remain on the job at Wash
ington as long as congress is in
session and therefore does not
plan to make a personal cam
paign before the primaries.
Congressman Ellsworth has
sought to become a specialist in
several matters of vital interest
to Oregon and the Fourth dis
trict, particularly in the utiliza
tion of waste wood in the lumber
Industry through the making of
industrial alcohol and byproducts
such as yeast and protein feed
for livestock. Through his persist
ent efforts tho program for mak
ing alcohol from wood waste Is
now a recognized project, with a
plant soon to be erected to con
vert this waste material into the
vitully needed war product.
Of greatest Interest to the
Fourfh district are the future
well being of the mining. Indus
try and the efficient handling of
public lands. Congressman Ells
worth has served on the commit
tees of congress that have charge
of both these important subjects.
Only a few days ago he was in
strumental in steering through
the house of representatives the
bill for sustained yield of Oregon
forests which provides for sus
tained yield management of the
forests to the eqd that lumbering
may be a permanent industry
and not merely a process of strip
ping the forest and leaving ghost
towns in its wake as It moves on
to other localities.
When a man in public office is
known to be dependable, sound in
Judgment, honest, energetic and
a hRi-d workers for his constitu
ency, the voters do well indeed
to continue him in office. The de
scription fits Congressman Ells
worth. The Courier earnestly rec
ommends his nomination at the
primaries and his reelection in
November.

Fisherman Wins Hot
Bout With 19 Sea Lions
.ASTORIA, Ore., April 6. j
(AP) Henry Jorgcnsen held onj
to his salmon catches for 28 years
and he wasn't going to lose one
to sea lions.
So when the veteran Astoria
deep-sea fisherman found two
sea lions trying to board his deep
sea trailer, anchored 10 miles off
Long Beach, Wash., he pushed
them off.
But a few minutes later they
were back again with 17 rein
forcements. While he fought a los
ing battle at the stern for over an
hour with his only weapon, a pfke
pole, tho leader climbed over the
bow and waddled toward the sal
mon, filed on the deck.
Then Jorgensen lost his temper.
He knocked the 12-foot animal
off the vessel with a tremendous
thrust of the pole. It swam away.
So after an hour and a half of
battling did the other 18.

City Manager Attempt
Is Revived at Salem
SALEM, Ore., April 5 (AP)
The Salem junior chamber of

city manager plan on the pri
mary election ballot, announced
today it would distribute peti
tions to place the measure before
the voters.
moot.
"I am deeply grateful for the
honor Governor Snell conferred
upon me and tho confidence
which he has shown In my ability
to carry on; I shall do my best.
Whether I am called upon fur
ther to serve is for the decision
of the people of Oregon."
The above from Guy Cordon's
candidacy announcement, is
worth reprinting for it so char
acteristic of the man, and such
sound political doctrine.
Characteristic for Oregon's
new senator is a very modest per
son. He has worked his way up
in life with help from no one,
and he- has that innute combina
tion of humility and dignity and
self-respect which, where the ma
terial is of the right stuff, such
a strenuous experience brings.
But give him something to do,
and if it CAN be done, he will
do it. As remarked before, given
a FAIR chance, we believe Guy
Cordon will develop into one of
the best senators,- Oregon has
ever had.
And to our mind this announce
ment indicates it.
As long as the war lasts Sena
tor Cordon can be depended upon
to loyally support the present ad
ministrationalways place the
weifare and security of his coun
try above HIS party or any
other. But the war once over, Ore
gon's Junior senator can be de
pended upon to do everything in
his power to not only remove the
war debris, but to remove the
war's political psychology; get
the ship of state back on an even
keel, with personal liberty and
free initiative restored again.
Quite properly he doesn't ask
for votes or political support at
this time. He merely asks for the
CHANCE to show the people In
the next eight months what he
can do; let them decide, on the
basis of his record, brief as it
must be, whether they wish his
services terminated or continued.
